Property Description

Built in an era when craftsmen took their time and materials were chosen for permanence, this rare California Arts and Craft (Craftsman) sits behind mature hedges on one of Mid city's most charming streets. . Some homes have a little bit of character, a knob here, remnants of a built-in there. This one has been kept vital, without losing a single thing that makes it extraordinary. The deep covered porch welcomes before you cross the threshold. It's the kind of porch people actually use - for reading, evening conversation, and watching the neighborhood go about its life. T he scale is right. The detail is original. The mood is immediate. Step inside and the home opens up. The living room, formal dining room, and casual entertainment space are connected by operable pocket doors --open flow or intimate to create a moment. Original built-ins throughout invite you to display what tells your story -- art books, the record collection, future heirlooms. Wide crown molding, original single-hung windows (operable, not painted shut), and original cabinetry with glass and hardware intact. For those who know, you know: no layers of oil paint, no heat gun, no toxic fumes. This woodwork is clean, correct and gorgeous. The kitchen has been updated with genuine thought; a six-burner range, wine fridge, farmhouse sink reinterpreted for modern life, a second sink with dishwasher, and finishes that feel at home here rather than imported from a different era. At the back of the main floor, a breakfast room with picture rail, stained glass and doors that open to the rear porch and garden. The kind of morning situation that sets off a great day. A reimagined main floor bath completes this level with a claw foot tub and clean white tile. The wide, traditional stairwell, a stained glass square at the landing, catches the light beautifully. Original built-in bookcases anchor the top of the stairs and the original hammered metal lantern fixture is still exactly where it landed. Four ample bedrooms occupy each corners of the upper floor (no common walls). Each with tree top views, dappled natural light and dimensions that don't require squeezing past furniture. Two bathrooms on this level: a Jack and Jill bath in period-correct detail and an updated bathroom that manages to feel updated without erasing what the house is. The clawfoot tub here features a vintage-correct canopy shower ring. The rear garden is its own destination. Fruit trees, native plantings, bougainvillea, climbing vines and eco-grass that looks genuinely beautiful without the water guilt. Remember that back porch off the kitchen? It connects seamlessly a large shaded dining area indoor-outdoor living the way Los Angeles intended it. There's a side yard with sink for potting plants, raised beds and a garage for storage. The real discovery is the 'Couple's Cave' a cozy private retreat built for music, cocktails, and a dry sauna for two with LED light scheme that makes it feel like a well kept secret. The home sits on a friendly block of historic homes. The kind of street where neighbors stop to talk and mean it. High Walk score of 87 - the playground, the library, Starbucks, Truffle Brothers for handmade pasta or a well-chosen bottle, and Surfas Culinary for the gourmet cheeses are walkable. Sprouts and Superior are nearby for everyday essentials. You are minutes to West Adams and amazing eats Cento Pasta and Seafood, Johnny's Pastrami, Highly Likely, Alta, newcomers Little Room, Maydan Market, Trebol, and the soon-to-arrive Win-Dow Burgers. The Expo Line puts Downtown LA, Santa Monica, and LAX within easy reach without touching the freeway. Preserved Craftsman homes at this level of integrity, with so many amenities nearby do not come available often. See it now.
